Question

an almirah I was bought for Rs 14360 and Rs 240 was spent on transportation. at what price should it be sold to gain of 15%?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of almirah = Rs. 14360

Spent on transportation = Rs. 240

So the Cost price price will be = Rs. 14360 + Rs. 240

Cost price = Rs. 14600

Profit = 15%

Selling price = 15% × Rs. 14600

Selling price = Rs. 2190

Selling price = C.P + Profit

Selling price = Rs. 14600+ Rs. 2190

Selling price = Rs. 16790

Answer 2

Question :-

• An almirah, I was bought for Rs 14360 and Rs 240 was spent on transportation. At what price should it be sold to gain of 15%?

Answer

Given -

• Purchase price of Almirah = Rs 14360

• Amount spent on transportation = Rs 240

• Gain % = 15 %

To Find -

• Selling Price of Almirah

Formula Used

$\bigstar \: \large{ \boxed{ \green{ \tt \: SP \: = \: \dfrac{(100 \: + \: gain \: \%) \times CP}{100} }}}$

CALCULATION -

• Purchase price of Almirah = Rs 14360

• Amount spent on transportation = Rs 240

So,

Cost Price of Almirah = Rs 14, 360 + Rs 240 = Rs 14, 600

• Gain % = 15 %

So,

• Selling Price of Almirah is given by

$\rm :\implies\:SP \: = \: \dfrac{(100 \: + \: gain \: \%) \times CP}{100}$

$\rm :\implies\:SP \: = \: \dfrac{(100 + 15) \times 14600}{100}$

$\rm :\implies\:SP \: = \: 115 \times 146$

$\rm :\implies\:SP \: = \: Rs\: 16790$
